Wouldn't it be Iceland? Or is that for the ice part of that region? Or is it the other way round.

Other way around, iceland is the small island next to it, and Greenland is the big frozen mass labelled canada here.

here have a picture

Ok who is responsible for naming this? I need to know

I've always remembered it like this:

Greenland is icy, Iceland is green.
